For now, the grouping will have to remain virtual, but Maakestad's paintings are on view in "Give and Take" at The Rymer Gallery through Saturday .

Maakestad, an art professor at Memphis College of Art, gathers imagery from webcams, traffic cams and security cameras. Often she depicts the sky and surrounding terrain in variations of the same color so that they become nearly indistinguishable, part of a fabric accented by a swirl of highway.

In her hands, swaths of asphalt gray (or any other color she chooses for pavement) snake through snatches of scenery, ribbons of one color cutting through another.

The Rymer Gallery is at 233 Fifth Ave. N. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and there is no admission fee. For information, call 615-752-6030 or go to www.therymergallery.com.
